Abstract: Apparatus and a method for automatically configuring communication port assignments in dockable portable computer systems wherein a portable computer unit is operable both on a stand-alone basis and attached (docked) to a generally stationary expansion (docking) unit providing extended connectivity and power sourcing facilities. The portable computer unit may contain integral connectors (RS232, telephone jacks, parallel port connectors, etc.) and internal circuit devices operating through the connectors (modems, circuits supporting RS232 signalling, etc.). The docking unit may also have such connectors and associated circuits. The computer user may assign internal logical communication paths com x (x = 1, 2, ...) to these connectors and their associated circuits. When the portable unit is in a docked mode, care must be taken that duplicate paths are not concurrently active in the portable and docking units leading to potentially conflicting signal processes in the units. The present invention provides an automatic initialization process whereby the system is automatically configured to operate without path conflicts when it is docked and to make full use of all internal paths in the portable unit when the base portable unit is not docked; all transparent to system users.

Abstract: A superhigh speed vertical transistor having an ultra thin base, a vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure for composing an IIL, and a lateral PNP transistor similarly composing an IIL to be an injector are formed on a P-type silicon substrate 1 by self-aligned and integrated. The emitter leading-out part opening of the superhigh speed vertical NPN transistor and the collector leading-out part opening of the vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure are self-aligned to the base leading-out electrode. In the epitaxial layer, the P-type intrinsic base layer of superhigh speed vertical NPN transistor is formed by impurity diffusion from the emitter leading-out electrode formed of polysilicon film, and the P-type base layer of the vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure is formed by ion implantation. By thus forming the superhigh speed vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure in self-aligned process, the superhigh speed vertical NPN transistor of self-aligned type and IIL device may be integrated on a same chip. Besides, by forming the intrinsic base layer of the vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure deeper in junction than the base layer formed by impurity diffusion from the polysilicon emitter electrode for the superhigh speed NPN transistor of self-aligned type, the low concentration epitaxial layer part beneath the intrinsic base layer for composing the emitter of the vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure may be made smaller, thereby avoiding lowering of the current gain of the vertical NPN transistor having a reverse direction structure and lowering of high speed operation of IIL device accompanying accumulation of minority carrier.

Abstract: An electromagnetic flow meter capable of measuring the flow of a fluid (L) flowing through a conduit (1) irrespective of whether the conduit is full with the fluid or not. A ratio (OB/OA) of the output of a sensor (2) disposed on the side of the conduit and obtained when a coil (3A) disposed above the conduit is energized to the output of the sensor obtained when a coil (3B) disposed below the conduit is energized is always a function of only the level of the fluid in the conduit. Therefore, if a first relationship (Fig. 2) between the ratio and the level of the fluid is beforehand obtained for a reference conduit, the level can be specified even if a gradient of the conduit changes. Since the level and flow are in a one-to-one relationship in the reference conduit, a second relationship (OA) between the sensor output and flow or level of the fluid obtained when the upper coil is energized, should beforehand be obtained. If the ratio is obtained for the measured conduit, the level of the fluid is determined. The flow in the reference conduit and the output at the level are obtained from the second relationship. Thus, the sensitivity = the output/the flow at that level is obtained. This sensitivity does not change as long as the level is constant. Thus, the sensitivity in the measured conduit is obtained. The flow of the fluid of interest is obtained by multiplying the sensitivity by the measured output for the measured conduit.

Abstract: A logic device comprises a series of charge storage nodes NO - N3 that are interconnected by tunnel barriers D. Clock waveforms V1 - V3 applied to clock lines CI 1 - CI 3 selectively alter the probability of charge carriers passing through the tunnel diodes D from node to node, the arrangement being such that the amount of charge at each node is limited by Coulomb blockade so as to define first and second logical levels. Typically, the logical levels are defined by the presence or absence of a single electron, although larger numbers e.g. ten, can be utilised. An output device, typically a Coulomb blockade electrometer provides an output logical signal indicative of the logical state of node N3.

Abstract: A communication network and method of design thereof uses end-to-end delay distribution functions and loss probabilities as design constraint to ensure that all packets of all traffic classes on all end-to-end node pairs of the network reach a destination within a predetermined maximum allowable delay with a given probability. An end-to-end delay distribution function is determined for every end-to-end path for all traffic classes to find a path with a minimum distribution probability value. A distribution function is determined for each link of the path having a minimum distribution probability value to determine a most congested link, the capacity of which is increased until a given minimum probability value of distribution is determined.

Abstract: In a form of the disclosure, electromagnetic propagation logging measurements are made for several magnetic moment directions of the electromagnetic energy, and can be examined and/or processed retrospectively in order to select the logging information which has a particular desired characteristic, such as the sharpest imaging of bed boundaries. By scanning the magnetic moment over a wide range of angles, one is assured of obtaining logging information that has a desired attribute, such as image sharpness. This can be determined by viewing a recorded log and/or by automatically processing the log data. Information from other ones of the several logs may be useful in optimizing other attributes, such as standoff immunity or signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiple actuator for the combined gas/air regulation of a combustible gas-air mixture in a combustion heat producer according to the servo principle. In the case of this actuator the regulating valve and the safety valve (8) are in each case designed as double seat valves. The regulating valve is arranged at the input of the gas flow to the multiple actuator and has, at the lower end of the valve stem, a diaphragm disc which is provided at its margin with a circumferential sealing control diaphragm (2). The diaphragm disc can be acted upon on its lower side by the control pressure pst and on its upper side by a central space pressure pm from a central pressure space (7), the central space pressure being less than or equal to the input pressure pe of the inflowing gas flow at the input. The input pressure pe of the gas flow can act, via a longitudinal bore in the valve stem of the regulating valve, on the control pressure space (4) whose upper boundary is formed by the underside of the diaphragm disc of the regulating valve. The control pressure space (4) can be acted on at the other side by the burner pressure pbr via a control valve (12) which can be actuated by the first regulating diaphragm (13), on one side of which the burner pressure pbr is present. In this way, a lower sensitivity of the regulating system with respect to rapid pressure fluctuations on the burner side and a lower dependency of the valve functions on the input pressure are achieved. In addition, the energy which is present in the gas pressure can, as a result, be utilised in an optimum fashion for the control pressure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An enhanced power saving method for operating a battery powered handhold communication system, particularly a cordless phone system, and the communication system constructed in accordance with the power saving method are disclosed. The power saving method comprises an algorithm which divides the standby time of the communication system into a scanning mode and a sleep mode of several different levels to allow the system to enter the scanning mode intermittently. Each level of the sleep mode corresponds to a given length of delay time between two successive scanning periods. The communication system enters different levels of the sleep mode in accordance with the standby time history. The longer the standby time has passed, the longer the sleep time of the level that the system may enter is to cut down the scan rate when the system is not used for a long while.
